An Upstate teen who is accused of killing her own baby waived her probable hearing on Friday. That means 18-year-old Danielle Bowen didn't go to court, and her case will heard straight to the grand jury.

Bowen was arrested in January and charged with killing her 6-month-old daughter Haley. At the time Bowen claimed it was an accident. Bowen’s mother Becky Grice is siding with her daughter. She says the teen was suffering from post partum depression but would never hurt her children.
